Donated Squares, Designed Afghans to aid Homeless

Daisy Ghan, what else could this one be called, lol.  Lots of pretty colors here with squares from several people, I think...the solid colors are from a couple of pairs of helping hands.  This is yet another afghan I designed in my multi-day design craze awhile back.  I dumped all the squares, new and old and played and played and played tossing knitted and crocheted squares here there and everywhere.  This one will most likely get edged and assembled with off white.

As you know May's focus is hats.  Please review the information in the hat tab across the top of the blog to be certain you're up to date regarding sizes, colors, fibers etc. needed to make our donations meet the need.
*Oh and please remember to attach a size tag to ALL hats.  Use string, yarn, safety pin.  Labels don't have to be fancy folks, but knowing the size is really needed by all the shelters, as well as schools to know how to store and distribute to the appropriate people in need.

Donating Matching Hat and Scarf

Thank you Victoria P from Arizona for this matching hat and scarf set.  What a fun mix of colors, some lady will be not only be warmer with this, but will be "stylin".  The hat I believe is made with front and back double or triple crochets, as it's nice and thick with a look of ribbing.  Click to enlarge folks so you can see the details.  

Please keep up the good work Victoria.

Donations Make me Smile

 Thank you Denise F, one of our recent contest winners for this thoughtful donation.  Denise crocheted 2 cotton cloths, and a blanket for a wee one, and loomed (knitted) 7 hats for the kiddo's.  As of the writing and scheduling of this post, I can finally say we're in stock up mode........I think.  The weather has finally turned warm, and I think in about 10 days we can even say the threat of frost is past.  What a welcome relief for our folks without roofs over their heads.  We don't stop knitting and crocheting, we continue through out the entire year and store things for all the shelters in order to be ready before the weather turns cold in the fall.

Keep up the good work Denise!

Donations make me smile because I know with each donation, we're taking care of more folks in need.
